Chapter 887 - Get An Autograph (2/2)
Yue Ling kept a smile on her face. She decides to change the topic while they wait for Liu Shan.
”How are your wife and children doing?”
Liu Yilong blinks his eyes at the sudden question but sounds a burst of heartfelt laughter.
”They're doing good. My wife has been taking a gardening class. My son is still overseas studying while my daughter is still studying here in Imperial.”
He was happy that Yue Ling still remembers his family. Of course, he cannot tell her how much his son is head over heels in love with her. He (the son) even has a printed photo of her saved as his phone screen saver.
Yue Ling softens as she listens to the elderly man talk about his family. She was reminded of the past and how sweet his wife treated her.
”If you ever need any help, please let me know.”
Liu Yilong wanted to turn down her offer, but thinking about something, he hesitated for a split second then reluctantly asked.
”Well… there is one thing….”
His cheeks flush a shade of pink, and he leans towards Yue Ling to whisper.
”My son… If possible…”
He clears his throat a few times out of embarrassment then continues his words.
”Can I get an autograph for him?”
Yue Ling was in bewilderment at the unexpected request. She thought he would ask for something more extravagant. Never did she expect him to ask for her autograph for his son.
She laughed when she saw his embarrassed yet desperate expression. Her head nods, and she looks away from him.
”I'll give you the autograph before I leave.”
Hearing her approval at his request, Liu Yilong's eyes lit up with fireworks. His son would be thrilled by this news. He (the son) might even come flying home to visit.
”Did I miss anything?”
Liu Shan suddenly chimes in to interrupt the two people after parking the car. He was confused by the atmosphere and looked between his boss and the elderly man.
He focuses his eyes on Liu Yilong and squints his eyes in suspicion.
”Hey, old man, what's going on here?”
Liu Yilong was brought back to reality, and his face returned to normal. He looks at the assistant and snorts with arrogance.
”Liu Shan, we are at An Qing. Can't you act properly? Here, I am Mr. Liu. Not old man.”
He will never tell Liu Shan about his request because not once did he ever ask for Yue Ling's autograph. Even before she retired from the modeling industry, he never did.
Liu Shan's mouth opened in astonishment. He sarcastically laughs and crosses his arms over his chest.
”Old man, we may share the same surname, but our blood flows differently. You don't have to tell me when to act properly.”
He slightly leans towards Liu Yilong and mischievously grins.
”Judging from your expression, let me guess. You finally asked for boss's autograph, hm?”
Liu Yilong's muscles tensed around his mouth in embarrassment. He couldn't believe how accurate Liu Shan was at guessing the situation.
However, seeing the smug looks on the young man's face, his hands began to itch.
He raises both his hands but stops midair, leaving them to tremble. He fights the urge to decide whether he should strangle Liu Shan to death or consider his pride.
Liu Shan took notice of this, and his eyes widened. He pointed to the elderly man and held back his urge to laugh.
”Look. Look. Who's the one who can't act properly now?”
Liu Yilong's face turned crimson red. No one knew whether it was because he was embarrassed or whether he was fighting the demon inside. However, one thing was clear. He wanted to strangle Liu Shan.
Yue Ling watched the friendly dispute between the elderly man and her assistant. She suddenly had a quick flashback of the past before she dispersed Fate.
Despite Liu Yilong being an elder for them, he was someone everyone could joke with and treated everyone like his children. He often disciplined them but only taught them right from wrong.
He would sometimes state that he wished Liu Shan was related to him by blood.
As her thoughts back to memory lane began to progress, she quickly stopped them.
She decides they had enough time to catch up and gets down to her purpose for visiting.
”Mr. Liu, if you don't mind. I would like to see how the employees are doing.”
At her words, Liu Yilong's urge to harm Liu Shan disappears, and he smiles at her. His expression was as if he never had anything to do with the assistant.
”Of course.”
He gestures towards a direction, and his words continue.
”Right this way. Everyone has been eager to meet you since your last visit.”
Yue Ling doesn't respond but heads towards the pointed direction while Liu Shan doesn't hesitate to follow behind her. However, as he walks past Liu Yilong, he doesn't forget to give the elderly man a look.
His expression was as if saying, 'Ha! As long as boss is here, you can't harm me.'
The corners of Liu Yilong's mouth twitched when he saw the face Liu Shan gave him. Now he really regrets not strangling the young man.
However, not wanting to lose to Liu Shan, he raises his right arm.
He points to his eyes with his index and middle fingers before pointing to Liu Shan. He doesn't say anything, but the assistant quickly understands the meaning behind his gesture and swallows a gulp.
'Just you wait.. I'm watching you.'
